From the Desk of the Founder/CEO, Virtue Oboro
At Tiny Hearts, every innovation we build begins with a simple question:
How do we save lives without separating families?
Today, we are proud to introduce a new pathway for newborn jaundice treatment through our home-based model powered by the Crib A’glow our solar-powered, hospital-grade phototherapy system designed specifically for real homes and low-resource settings.
This breakthrough solution is now available in:
-
Lagos
-
Abuja
-
Port Harcourt
-
Yenagoa
-
Enugu
Bringing family-centred neonatal care closer to the people who need it most.
Why This Innovation Matters
Newborn jaundice is one of the most common conditions affecting babies in their first days of life.
Yet access to consistent, safe treatment can be limited by:
-
Prolonged hospital stays
-
Distance from care facilities
-
Cost barriers
-
Unstable electricity supply
-
Limited hospital bed availability
Crib A’glow changes this reality.
It is a portable, solar-powered phototherapy device that delivers clinically effective blue-light treatment while working independently of unreliable power supply.
Babies can receive continuous, safe, and monitored treatment in the comfort of their homes — without compromising medical standards.
Our home-based care pathway enables clinically stable babies to continue treatment safely at home under medical supervision, while preserving:
-
Bonding
-
Breastfeeding
-
Maternal recovery
How It Works
-
The Crib A’glow solar-powered phototherapy unit is delivered and safely set up in the home.
-
Trained neonatal nurses monitor the baby’s progress and overall wellbeing.
-
Bilirubin testing is coordinated to track treatment effectiveness.
-
Families receive ongoing clinical guidance and education.
-
Structured escalation pathways back to the hospital are maintained when needed.
Designed for Real Homes in Nigeria
Crib A’glow was built for our realities.
-
Runs on solar power — no dependence on constant electricity
-
Portable and adaptable to different home environments
-
Delivers hospital-grade blue-light therapy
-
Maintains a comfortable, enclosed, thermally safe space
-
Allows clear visibility and monitoring
This ensures treatment is safe, supervised, accessible, and family-centred.
Protecting the Fourth Trimester
The postpartum period matters.
By enabling treatment at home, we:
-
Reduce maternal stress
-
Support physical recovery after delivery
-
Encourage sustained breastfeeding
-
Promote emotional wellbeing
Mothers can rest, heal, and bond with their babies while life-saving treatment continues beside them.
A Partnership Model with Hospitals
Tiny Hearts works in collaboration with healthcare providers.
Doctors identify clinically stable babies.
We continue prescribed care at home using the Crib A’glow phototherapy system, while providing structured progress updates.
The hospital remains the primary clinical authority.
The continuum of care is preserved.
More Than Treatment — A New Care Experience
Our care packages also include:
-
Postpartum mental health support
-
Nutrition guidance for breastfeeding mothers
Because healing is holistic.
From the development of the Crib A’glow solar-powered phototherapy device to this home-based care pathway, our mission remains the same:
To make life-saving neonatal care accessible, human-centred, and designed for the communities we serve.
This is not just treatment.
It is innovation that allows:
-
Treatment to continue
-
Bonding to continue
-
Recovery to continue together
